Iā€™ve submitted a [feature request #183 for Nextcloud Notes team](https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/issues/183) to adopt and integrate [NextNote](https://github.com/brantje/nextnote) directly. It is sorely needed! This would address almost every single original desire of this thread into the standard Notes appā€¦ - Rich Text editing (aka WYSIWYG) - Ability to attach files (anything) to notes - Ability to have inline images including drag and drop - Ability to import existing EN notes ---

I added my little suggestion to the [github thread](https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/issues/183) I would start by creating a stable and well supported WYSIWYG layer or mode in the current notes app, and maybe try to add web clipping later, on top of that Sadly, thereā€™s very few people with time and skill to help, and we wonā€™t go very far by having several competing versions. I think that NextNote and the basic Notes app should merge ---

Nextnote has evolved pretty much the past days. Several commits per day by @branjte and others. Version 1.0 will go live soon. Itā€™s worth a try if it was some time ago since you tried it. ---

Hello. I am a new Nextcloud user and posting for the first time in the forum. First of all I would like to thank the developers for their hard work. I am constantly looking for an alternative to evernote but I havenā€™t liked anything so far. Here is my response to some questions asked in this thread: 1 Are you currently using Evernote? If so, what features are the most helpful? Yes. Tags and subtags are very helpful. And the Notebook format too. 2 Have you tried any FOSS alternatives to Evernote? Joplin. It is MD and I would have preferred WYSIWYG format one. Something I can copy in to a word or libreoffice document. Also, there are no subtags. 3 What app features are you looking for in a FOSS Evernote replacement? It should have tags. Tags have become an alternate way to organize oneā€™s stuff apart from the folder. Because a thing can carry several tags and several things can have the same tag but the same canā€™t be done with folders. Tags and subtags should be there in tasks too. It also goes well with the GTD method. ---

Updates on Nextcloud Note ecosystemā€¦ - **Quicknotes** is a Rich Text Sticky-notes app in Nextcloud app store. - **Carnet** is a rich text notes app that has an Android app, desktop Electron apps and a Nextcloud app - **Nextnote** and **Nextcloud Notes** have been quiet as far as development. - **Tagspaces** is being fully re-written and under heavy development. - **Joplin** is receiving a lot of work, but still lacks a Nextcloud compatible web client. Jex format continues to be undocumented. > **[matiasdelellis/quicknotes](https://github.com/matiasdelellis/quicknotes)** > > Quick notes (Plain text and note colors.. in future images, todo list and categoires) app to Nextcloud/Owncloud. - matiasdelellis/quicknotes > **[PhieF/CarnetNextcloud](https://github.com/PhieF/CarnetNextcloud/issues)** > > Contribute to PhieF/CarnetNextcloud development by creating an account on GitHub. ---

I am developing an Android Note App. At the moment it handles the following: - Markdown Notes (and render it, but no live-preview while typing) - Todolists (very smiliar to Wunderlist) - Sharing For this I developed a REST API which makes it possible to save Notes/Todolists, create users, share Notes/Todolists etcā€¦ I want to change this to integrate with Nextcloud - without the need of an additional REST-API/Server component. I think Nextcloud is already perfect for syncing and organizing files. In the end I want to achieve a real Evernote Alternative including the following functions: - Notes with WYSIWG Editor - maybe not based on Markdown because of the limits of this format - Todolists - File Upload (pdf, Audio, Images - mayber videos later on) - inner Links (like HTML links to other documents) - full-text search (Nextcloud seems to be already able to do that?) - (more to come with progress) For this Iā€™d like to have some help. I donā€™t want to publish it as FOSS at the moment because the code is too messy for many developers. Instead I want to make it more stable and well documented. I am thinking of a small team of developers. So: Are there any volunteers? šŸ™‚ ---

Carnet runs very smooth ā€œout of the boxā€ but I donā€™t like the UI (similar to the Google notes app) and was not able to find out if I can import Evernote notes. ---

My NextCloud instance is on my Synology NAS so I use DS Note instead of Evernote. A full web clipper is available for Chrome-based browsers like Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi etcā€¦ It can also import Evernote notes and I find it pretty much as good as Evernote. ---

I didnā€™t find any volunteers. So no success on that. But I decided to keep on with my own Server - Why? I think it is much more easier to write a backend which is specialised on handling notes and todolists. With this, app development seems to be much more comfortable and you donā€™t need a ā€œbulkyā€ Nextcloud Server if you just want to use notes/todolist and share them. The Server is now open to the public on GitHub if someoneā€™s interested in it: [https://github.com/NKnuelle/rememberlyserver](https://github.com/NKnuelle/rememberlyserver) If everything is in a production-ready state I possibly integrate the server component as a nextcloud app. ---
